re: "He obviously thinks he really won that election, and he may be right"

Hmm, could we call this Electoral College nullification?

Al should just be grateful he can appear in public without getting pelted with tomatoes.

What he did in Florida was shameful, selfish and harmful to our nation.

I thought the article was excessively kind to Al Gore. It is sickening to attribute any kind of victory to Gore. I am willing to bet that the popular vote margain was stolen in a few places like Chicago, St. Louis, and Detroit.

Gore had a right to challenge some things about Florida, but his behavior through proxies was so shameful he should never offer himself to voters again. That has continued through his disciples ever since, with comments about W. being selected rather than elected, Jeb doing W. a favor, the Supreme Court (usually untouchable) throwing the election to W.

Gore's rights were limited to looking things over and trying to have things his way for a few days. The extensive challenge was truly disgraceful. Al Gore showed his worst side during that time when he gave his hollow laugh and said "This is America."

Much more could be said about Gore not being fit for office. It is appropriate that he and Hillary attacked the whole concept of the electoral college and fell even more in popularity. Carville's tactics worked for a time. Now they will haunt the Democrats, I am glad to say.
